It’s my second day in Cebu, and I’ve just finished a Skype conversation with Randy and Raviv. Man, I miss them so much!

I missed Raviv all the more after I saw him on Skype. He’s just too cute for words!!!

I think this is the first time I am without any one of them at an unfamiliar place. Although I admit that I also like these alone times with just myself, it’s palpable that I miss them both terribly.

So since yesterday, I have been double tasking: I was drinking the sights and sounds of Cebu, while also drowning myself in thoughts of Randy and Raviv.But surprisingly, I find that I miss Randy more, actually. Although I love my son so much, I’ve made no secret of the fact that I also long for us to travel together, alone. Thus I keep on thinking of my husband while being on “foreign” land. Yiheee!!!And here comes another surprise: the thoughts I have of Randy aren’t romantic-romantic…actually, it’s his trademark sarcasm. And as I reviewed our recent conversations, here’s what I realized about my husband: Randy secretly loves bursting my bubble! It’s like he knows the answers I expect of or hope from him, but then he would say something else, either because he’s unbelievably clueless or just because he want to piss me off.

To illustrate, here:

I: Babe, nag-sunblock ka ba?
[Recently, I’ve decided to really (totoo na ‘to, pramis!) take care of my and Randy’s skin. And that means putting on sunblock religiously every morning after bathing even if we won’t be under the sun]

Randy: Oo.
[I detected that he was lying…I can’t explain it, basta, I just see it on his face]

I: Hindi ka nag-sunblock? E bakit parang ang puti ng mukha mo?
[At this point, I expected him to say either:
a. He actually put on sunblock, after all.
b. His face has become fairer because of diligence in reminding him to put sunblock.
But noooooo!!!]

See what I mean? Tatak Randy! And to prove how much he secretly loves “disappointing” me, well, he here goes again doing his favorite hobby: take unglamorous photos of me, secretly. And post them online…for all the world to see!
